5 sales targets for early-stage startups
Here are some examples of sales targets that an early stage startup might set:
1. Revenue
Your startup's revenue is a key metric that you'll want to track as you grow. Set a target for how much revenue you want to generate in a given period, such as a month or a quarter.
2. Customer acquisition
Another important target to set is the number of new customers you want to acquire. This could be a specific number of customers per month or a percentage growth in your customer base over a certain period of time.
3. Lead generation
In order to bring in new customers, you'll need to generate leads. Set a target for how many leads you want to generate in a given period of time.
4. Conversion rate
The percentage of leads that turn into paying customers is known as the conversion rate. Set a target for your conversion rate and track your progress towards meeting it.
5. Average deal size
The average size of each sale that your team closes is another key metric to track. Set a target for your average deal size and work towards increasing it over time.
